Advantech has joined hands with Nvidia to incorporate Nvidia’s Jetson technology into several upcoming edge and cloud-based AI products from Advantech. Jetson is a series of low-power embedded computing boards featuring Nvidia’s Tegra system-on-a-chip and an ARM architecture CPU (central processing unit).
For cloud applications, Advantech’s SKY-6000 series servers with Nvidia’s GPU (graphics processing unit) enable the creation of high-density systems for big data aggregation. Featuring Advantech’s industrial design and Nvidia’s T4 GPU, these servers can resolve thermal issues typically created by high-density GPU computing, according to Advantech.
These new release announcements build on Advantech and Nvidia’s release of their AI Network Video Recording platform incorporating Advantech’s MIC-710IVA with Nvidia’s Jetson Nano, earlier this year. Nvidia describes Jetson Nano as asmall computer on which multiple neural networks can be run in parallel for applications like image classification, object detection, segmentation, and speech processing. It can run using as little as 5 watts of power.
